What kinds of products did Minton make?

Minton made far more than plates and cups. The company produced table services in bone china and porcelain, decorative vases, plaques, and ornamental wares, plus architectural ceramics such as tiles. Many collectors think of Minton as a dining-room brand, yet the firm also served designers, churches, and public buildings through its tile output. In the Victorian period, Minton gained attention for exhibition-quality pieces with high-relief decoration and refined painting. This range matters for buyers, a Minton dinner plate and a Minton show vase are judged by very different standards, and their values sit in different markets. Look at the form, the decoration method, and the base mark to place an item in the right category.
